A commercial vessel was reportedly struck by an unknown projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz late Saturday, triggering a mayday alert after the ship was reportedly disabled. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed receiving a report of a vessel being hit in the southern corridor near Omani waters. The vessel’s identity, crew condition and extent of damage were initially unclear. Early reports pointed toward possible Iranian involvement, with claims of anti-ship missiles and Shahed-136 drones launched from areas near Bandar Abbas and Bandar Kong. Some reports also suggested an escorted oil tanker convoy may have been targeted. #StraitOfHormuz #Iran #USA #MiddleEast #Oil #Tanker #Shipping #UKMTO #IranUS #Geopolitics #MaritimeSecurity #RedSea #PersianGulf #EnergySecurity #WorldNews #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
